Minimum IFR altitude Cody to West Yellowstone
cd wrote:
This is a vacation with my wife and two kids ages 10 and 8, I'm only staying two days at Yellowstone. I'm coming from Michigan in a turbo Twin Cessna (C320), but my wife would like to avoid using oxygen, but I do have onboard oxygen in the plane. My last fuel stop is going to be Rapid City, SD (RAP) from there I'm planning routing direct to Crazy Woman VOR CZI V324 RLY(Worland VOR) V319 COD(Cody), then direct to WYS(West Yellow Stone). I should be able to stay at 12,000 until Cody. I called Salt Lake Center, they looked at their charts and said there isn't a MVA, but the Minimum IFR Altitude (MIA) between Cody and West Yellowstone is 14,300, but he thought there was an area that I could get vectored at 14,000. So I'm not expecting to need to go higher than 15,000, I'll be using a cannula, but my family shouldn't need to since I shouldn't be up there for more than 30 min. Any reason you can't go VFR after Cody? The weather this time of year is generally pretty good unless there are afternoon T-storms (which you wouldn't want to tangle with VFR or IFR). I've flown COD to WYS numerous times at 10, 500 ft. (following the highway). I spent a couple of weeks at WYS last month. It's a good year to go. Not much in the way of fires in the region.
